1. I want a Harris/Biden or Biden/Harris ticket....

I think this is looking like the winning ticket....

[katmondoo]

2. I like Biden Harris

[FBaggins]

3. Is that a good thing?

I don't remember similar polls in the past to compare this to. My knee-jerk assumption would be that the implication that 30% of Dems are UNcomfortable with him as the candidate would be a bad thing. Hinting at some of the turnout issues that contributed to the 2016 disaster.

I'm still undecided and likely won't make a choice until close to NC's primary, but you have to get pretty far down the current list before I'm UNcomfortable with a candidate.

8. Check the graphic -- that 30% is a combination of "have reservations" and "uncomfortable."

And at this stage in the primary campaign, with so many candidates, I think having 70% either enthusiastic about Biden or comfortable with him is pretty good.

4. They might as well not hold the vote.

Can't we wait until after we hold some votes?

6. Don't they always start polling well ahead of the primaries?

9. Hello?

These are not normal times. We just want to beat trump. Biden can do that.

[redstatebluegirl]

13. Amen to that!

[DownriverDem]

5. Smart Dems

Biden/Harris ticket would be formidable.

[question everything]

7. Sanders has the highest uncomfortable

but should be higher. Why Democrats want someone who mocks the party as their candidate is beyond me. Unless they want to tear down all the institutions and start anew.

[DownriverDem]

10. We don't

want Sanders.

11. Those numbers potentially look pretty good for Mayor Pete ...

Although they suggest a lot of people still haven't really heard of him and it's hard to know how that large swath of 'Don't Know' will break once they do, but most people once they get to know him, tend to like him quite a bit ... the smallness of the reserved/uncomfortable i.e. 'negative' faction for him is pretty nice-looking i.e. small. Most of the other high 'don't know' candidates already have a significant 'negative' section.

12. I would like to see a Biden/Harris ticket

14. This is a March 23-27, 2019 survey

or so it says at the bottom of the graphs.
